[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Techcruncher:
I have exact same problem. What i believe it to be is that the second flash is a red-eye reducer. When you take a pic with flash red eye occurs. The second flash is meant to briefly light up, significantly reducing red eye.

Since the second flash is intended to only briefly light up during a flash picture (the only intended use) on of the bulbs will fire for a much shorter time length.

When you see one flickering, it is just trying to repeatedly "flash" as it would during a picture.

If you are able to keep both lights on through a flashlight app, you'e very lucky, but your light is probably broken.

CONFIRMED

Photography techniques for prevention and removal of red-eye

The red-eye effect can be prevented in a number of ways.

Using bounce flash in which the flash head is aimed at a nearby pale colored surface such as a ceiling or wall or at a specialist photographic reflector. This both changes the direction of the flash and ensures that only diffused flash light enters the eye.

Placing the flash away from the camera's optical axis ensures that the light from the flash hits the eye at an oblique angle. The light enters the eye in a direction away from the optical axis of the camera and is refocused by the eye lens back along the same axis. Because of this the retina will not be visible to the camera and the eyes will appear natural.

Taking pictures without flash by increasing the ambient lighting, opening the lens aperture, using a faster film or detector, or reducing the shutter speed.

using the red-eye reduction capabilities built into many modern cameras. These precede the main flash with a series of short, low-power flashes, or a continuous piercing bright light triggering the iris to contract. (This should not be confused with the autofocus assist beam, which uses a series of flashes for focus instead.)

Having the subject look away from the camera lens.

Increase the lighting in the room so that the subject's pupils are more constricted.

Some computer digital image editors have the ability to lessen the red eye by desaturating the red color.

If direct flash must be used, a good rule of thumb is to separate the flash from the lens by 1/20 of the distance of the camera to the subject. For example, if the subject is 2 metres (6 feet) away, the flash head should be at least 10 cm (4 inches) away from the lens.

Professional photographers prefer to use ambient light or indirect flash as the red-eye reduction system does not always prevent red eyes, for example if people look away during the pre-flash. In addition, people do not look natural with small pupils, and direct lighting from close to the camera lens is considered to produce unflattering photographs.

Various graphics editing software packages have functions to remove red eyes from digital photographs. Some have automated this process, and can apply it to many photos at once. Red-eye removal is also built into many popular consumer programs, such as Adobe Photoshop, Apple iPhoto, Corel Photo-Paint, GIMP, Google Picasa, and Microsoft Windows Live Photo Gallery.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonman23:
I confirmed that it is in a fact a hardware issue with my atrix. We now have three at the workplace and mine is the only one with the issue. I am getting it replaced.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wirednix:
Thanks. Just noticed this on my Atrix as well tonight. Will be going to AT&T and getting a new one tomorrow.

For anyone else who might want to test their flash:

My problem started when I would use the flashlight app.

-The left LED would flicker and go off.

-Now it doesn't turn on at all.

-The camera no longer flashes the left LED.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nelshcky1919:
I have brightest flashlight free app installed and haven't had any problems. Both led's come on really bright and stay on
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wirednix:
I would like to update my issue with the flashlight app & LED lights on the Atrix.

I previously had a phone that started flashing the left LED whenever I used a flashlight app. After a coulpe of weeks, I noticed that the LED would not turn on at all during both camera and flashlight app uses.

I went back to Costco and exchanged for a new unit.

I came to find out that my left LED still blinks after 15-20 seconds of use. One thing I noticed is that the LED on my new Atrix is way LESS yellow than my first Atrix. (Quality control, anyone?)

People have confirmed that their Atrix has no flashing of the LEDs when using a flashlight app.

I am most likely going back AGAIN and getting a new Atrix again.

ALSO, the flashing of the LED is NOT intended for Red Eye Reduction, as someone previously pointed out. That is WRONG information. I believe it to be a hardware/software problem with some Atrix units.

Regardless of the flashlight app you use, can you keep the LEDs both at 100% for longer than 20 seconds without any blinking?

Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

I happened to be in my local Sprint store that is a repair center, and was waiting on my fiancee to pay the bill when I happened to look through the glass where the techs are at, and they had a memo on the comp screen about the Froyo issues and the first thing they were to do is a ##RTN# to try to clear the issues, then a hard reset if that didn't work. I have my MSL, but IF I do a ##RTN#, do I need any other info to program back into my phone doing a reset that way, or not?

I just don't feel like waiting on Sprint to do it if I can do it myself since the basic hard reset didn't clear all my issues.
[Epic 4G General] ms79723:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr Goodvibes:
Yes, it is possible using a VPN (Virtual Private Network)

A VPN binds your home network and your XPERIA X10i into one single LAN (192.168.1.0/24)

This means any services available to you on your home LAN is available to you on your XPERIA X10i anywhere in the world as long as your phone has an Internet connection.

You could look at setting up a PPTP server in your home network as a first step, but it is the least secure.

An OpenVPN server would be better and more secure.

HOWEVER, it can become VERY complex if you've never done this before and things don't fall into place the first time.

A visit to SmallNetBuilder or a Windows PC forum could provide additional information.

And if you do embark on setting up PPTP, one piece of advise, don't forget Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunneling protocol ;)

The following config setup just pulled randomly from the web may provide a basic starter to get PPTP server up and running on a Windows 7 PC.

How to Set Up PPTP VPN Server in Windows 7

However I'd suggest for best practice you should use a dedicated VPN Server/router to provide a VPN PPTP server, as it's always up and provides added benefits for security, given PPTP is not the best VPN solution.

PPTP client is built into the Android OS and can be found in the VPN settings.

A better solution is to use OpenVPN and OpenVPN on a rooted XPERIA X10i.

You need a tun.ko module in the ROM/build when using OpenVPN client on Android.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
I agree, 3.0 was designed as a tablet OS, not a phone OS.

Like the post above me says, no phone really has the resolution to take advantage of things like tabbed browsing and other tablet features, at least not efficiently or realistically. Plus, seeing as most tablets are at LEAST 800 mhz, most being 1 GHz or more, it probably would run slower than froyo and gingerbread on our phones. It probably would use a lot more RAM/CPU/GPU resources, making the whole system overall laggier. I think it might be cool to have a honeycomb ROM, but honestly, it's not very practical, it may not be worth it.
